Protection from Adverse Consequences of Initial Failures: Students receive feedback on their work and have opportunities to reach the standards throughout the process.
Questions to ask yourself:
Are students provided feedback throughout the project other than at grade time?
•Are persons other than the teacher invited to give feedback on the students’ work without their feedback affecting the students’ grade?
•When a student fails to meet the standards, is the student offered additional opportunities to complete the goal without the first effort affecting his or her grade?
Action:
Ensure that students will be provided opportunities to receive feedback from others and have opportunities to correct mistakes before a presentation of the final product.
